Thank you staccyh for your help trying to ID this.
Luis, could this be a Sepia bolete? http://www.first-nature.com/fungi/boletu...
I might be waaay off! But I had go at it because I'm trying to learn how to ID mushrooms! Although looking at this link http://www.first-nature.com/fungi/sclero..., seems unlikely to be an earthball.
Thank you staccyh for the ID suggestion. No I didn't, it was attached pretty close to the ground and I didn't want to break it.
Maybe Scleroderma citrinum (common earthball) or perhaps Sarcodon scabrosus (bitter hedgehog)? Did you manage to look at the gills?
